Founder and director of the Notre Dame University Choir and School of Music since 1992, faculty member and choir director at the National Higher Conservatory of Music of Beirut, and chaplain general of the Sovereign order of Malta in Lebanon since 2011.

Born in Bcharre, Rahme completed his studies in Philosophy  and Theology at the Pontifical Lateran University, as well as his studies in music composition at the Tomás Luis de Victoria School of Music and the Santa Cecilia conservatory in Rome, under the tutoring of Valentino Miserachs.

As a composer, Rahme generously contributed to the enrichment of the Maronite sacred repertoire. His catalogue presents various hymns and motets for different liturgical occasions, a Mass for children choir, documentary music (Qarīban mina ssamā’, l’Espoir, etc.), operettas (Anā ma’akom, Maryam fī masīirati ša’bi llāh, etc.), and oratorios (St. Paul, The Maronites and the Glory of Lebanon, etc.). His discography features a dozen of discs, most of them with the Notre University Choir.
